![]() ![]() Unlike MSN Health and Fitness, Microsoft Health does not track nutrition.Microsoft this week released a set of well designed apps for Android, iOS and, of course Windows, each with a specific focus, such as news, weather, sports, health or money. The app offers a cloud-based platform that syncs data from not only the Microsoft Band but also other fitness apps including Jawbone, Gold’s Gym, Runkeeper, Under Armour’s MapMyFitness, and MyFitnessPal. The Microsoft Health app also syncs to Microsoft HealthVault as well. In October 2014, Microsoft launched another health and fitness app, called Microsoft Health, which connects to the company's activity tracker, Microsoft Band. The app also connects to Microsoft's HealthVault, which brings in data from other health trackers such as blood glucose monitors, electronic scales, and activity and medical monitors. MSN Health & Fitness allows users to browse exercise videos, including yoga and pilates, learn about human anatomy, track their diet, monitor their cardio workouts, access a symptom checker, and learn about medical procedures and drugs. Microsoft first announced MSN Health & Fitness as Bing Health & Fitness in July 2013. While Microsoft will shut down MSN Food & Drink and MSN Travel on September 28th, the company will discontinue MSN Health & Fitness on November 1st. "We will continue to support those apps with broad consumer appeal including News, Weather, Sports and Money, which will be made available as apps on Windows 10 and will remain cross platform." "We regularly evaluate our business to ensure we’re focused on the areas where our users find the most value," the company said in a statement. The shutterings will not affect Microsoft Health, a separate app that connects to the Microsoft Band. Microsoft has announced that it will discontinue three of its MSN apps: MSN Health & Fitness, MSN Food and Drink, and MSN Travel, which are available on Windows Phone, Android, and iOS. ![]()
